The American Exhibition continues to be
the attraction of the year, and is thronged
every day with a remarkably good class of
people. The improvements in it are of daily

LILLIAN RUssELLs DIAMONDS.
Amusing Experiences of the Popular
Actress.

Actress.
NEW York, Aug. LILLIAN Russell was
very poor when her costumer sued her for
81 300 for dresses made and delivered. Lii
Ian had no property that could be attached,
although the Sheriff searched diligently for
something upon which he could levy. 1t
was supposed that she possessed quantity
of diamonds of the first water. Thousands
of persons had seen her wear a gllttering
tiara, and the glare of the footlights had
been flashed from diamond pins eardrops
and rings on Lillian'S person into the eyes
of audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.
Persons posted on diamonds thought Lillian's
gems were real and valued them at $4,000
at least. She was asked about the stones,
and her reply made the sensation of the
day in New York. She said they were
mere paste limitations. Thus was another
illusion of the stage exposed. The popular
belief in the almost fabulous wealth of
jewelry displayed by stage stars suffered a
rude shock. The gems were calmly pro
duced by the fair Lillian, and it needed no
expert to see that they were almost value
less limitations. The actress was not at all
abashed by the exposure. She owned up to
the stage deception with perfect GOODNESS.
But her admirers were very much chagrined.
The costumer got nothing by the suit.
Lillian had no money. She explained that
her living cost all she earned, and when
there was difficulty III accounting for GER
tain large sums she said she supposed the
money must have been spent for candy.
The revelation of the amount of candy con-
sumed by this young woman was appalling.
Lillian is now at Saratoga. She occupies
the elegant cottage on Union avenue that
once belonged to DR.. Leonard, and she
drives one of the prettieSt turnouts at the
Springs For Door little PLAYER
girl who has spent all her money
for caramelS she manages to
get along quite comfortably
But the true story of the diamonds has not
been told The audiences, whose eyes have
been dazzled by the flashing of her gems,
were not deceived. On the stage she wore
stones really worth $4,000. When the suit
was brought these stones were removed from
their settings and in their places were put
paste limitations.
LillianS cousin, young man who some
times sings in opera companies, took charge
of the real stones and kept them safely, so
long as there was any danger that the COS
tuner would be looking for them.
This young man was useful in many ways
to the law-worried actress. Owing to his
faithful activity, it was a long time before
summons to appear in court could be served
upon her. She lived in an apartment house
uptown, and there were two exits from her
rooms.
When the deputy appeared at one door
with summons, the young man detained
him long enough to give Lillian chance to
skip out of the other. Many amusing ex-
periences and hairbreadth escapes she had
before the officers of the law finally caught
her mapping and served the summons.

ords of those on either side of the con-
troversy,- all sensible men and
all patriotic men will vote
according to their judgment
Of the question and as they may decide
that prohibition will advance or reterd
the growth and the improvement of
Texas. And this is the way it should be
discussed and decided. Prohibition will
either be for the good or the hurt of the
state, and it is either for the good or the
hurt of society; it is not partisan ques-
ton, it is not moral question, it is not
a religious question, and al men of oil
politics and all religions have a
right to view it according to
the dictates of their own con
sciences and to vote for or
against it accordingly. Bulldozing
and SANDER and the bosh about political
records of individuals are insults to the
free speech and the intelligence of men.
Prohibition should win or lose on its
me,its as q measure affecting the state
and society; and all the virtue of Texas
is not arrayed against all the vice of Tex
as in its discussion.

Association.

The Texas State Poultry and Pct Stock
Association.
To the Editor Of the Gazette.
l hand you herewith a copy of the con-
stitution and bylaws of the Texas State
Poultry and Pet Stock Association. As
you will see by perusaI of its contents,
IL is not scheme to make money for the
fraternity, but is legitimate organiza-
ton to further the introduction and prop
agatlon of better class of poultry and
that large class of animals that contribute
to the welfare of the human family,
known as "pet stOck,n which includes
nearly all domesticated animals This
makes the platform broad enough for the
admission TO membership of nearly the
whole population Of this great state Of
Texas.
These organizations have become a
power throughout the north and in some
states in the south, and some of the finest
and most successful exhibitions of late
years have been held under the auspices
of these organizations, notably for the
south the one of last year held ct
Atlanta, Ca, and of which Henry
Grady, "the silver tongued," is president,
and who so fully recognizes its import
snce to the south that ne is without q
doubt the most enthusiastic member Of
the Atlanta organization. 1t is our inten-
ton to make this organization Of these
interests in Texas the peer of any other
similar organization, whether north or
south. This can only be accomplished
by making it strong in membership, to
gether with 3 proper degree of deteTmi-
nation and enthusiasm for its success.
The time is near st hand when the cues
ton will oe discussed IS to where the first
annual exhibition will be held, and as it
is life and death matter for the associs-
ton that this first exhibition should be g
complete success, an anxious that il
shall be held in our own Fort Worth that
never allows anything she undertakes 10
fail of the most complete success.
l would be glad If every one
who may feel an interest in this
matter will let me hear from
them or express their sentiments through
The GAZETTE. know there are many in
our vicinity who should and I think will
gladly join our association, and to all
such ! will say that if you will send me
your application for membership I viii
see that your names are properly present
ed to the executive board, and in time to
have voice in the selection of the place
st which the coming exhibition shall be
held
hope THE GAZETTE will throw out its
STOW line" and take a "bowline hitCh''
on the Texas State Poultry and Pet Stock
Association, and with a persistency known
only to THE GAZETTE, pull until it is fully
decided that the first exhibition will be
held at the great railroad center of Texas.

CAMPAIGN NISINF0RNATTON.

The people OF Texas are being besieged
by every conceivable artihce. Some ora
tors and some newspapers address their
entire efforts to Misrepresentation and TO
deceit. In the interest of truth, and
that men may not be deceived into voting
against their convictions, THE GAZETTE
desires to call public attention again to
two facts:
vote for or vote against the
prohibition amendment IS NOT also
vote for or a vote against any
other of the proposed amendments.
Each of the proposed amendments,
upon which the people are TO vote
next month, Is q separate proposition.
A man may vote for any one OF them and
against all the others; or he may vote
aguinSt any one of them and for sll the
others. THE GAZETTE desires to empha-
size the fact that vote for against either
of the amendments Is not vote for or
against any other one or all of the pro-
posed amendments, as each proposed
amendment must be cotcd ouAs A SEPARATE
PROPOSITION.
The next most important misrepresent-
alton IS with reference to the time at
which the prohibition amendment will 20
into effect, if carried. The language of
the amendment itself explicitly states the
tine at which srol amendment will
hs"ome operative. The language
of the prohibition amendment
is as follows ''The Legislature shall,
at the first session held after the adop-
ton Of this amendment, enact necessary
laws t. PIT this proriston INTO EFrEcT.
That is to say, all laws now on the stat
ute books of the state of Texas relating
to the liquor traffic will remain
in full force and effect, even
if the prohibition amendment be
adopted, UNTIL tllc Legislature shaH PISS
Hc lars which are NECESSARY 10 gre
force and effect to tie amendment.
VIII those newspapers OF Texas that
love the truth, and which nave no pur-
pose in misleading voters by gross
receptions, give prominent and cons ant
and emphatic correction OF the decep-
tions being practiced on the public
The lawyers who go about the country
declaring to the contrary of what is here
asserted are the lawyers whose pliable
opinions and whose readiness to stake
their legal regulations on fallacy are the
men who bring the legal fraternity into
disrepute and excite the popular mind
against all lawyers. The lawyer who
asserts to the contrary of what
is here emphasized as to the
meaning CT the language of
the proposed amendment IS either lack
ing in legal knowledge or in honesty of
purpose; and this statement of the effect
of the adoption of the amendment is
based upon information derived from
several of the finest and most eminent
legal minds of Texas.

INTOLERANCE AND IYTOLER-
dNCE,

There is more than one form of intoler-
ance of free speech and free discussion,
and those who denounce the rotten egg
should not countenance the rotten argu-
ment. The prohibition question should
be discussed on its merits and not on the
merits OF any of the men who may favor
il or who may oppose it. Some of the
very pest men in every community of
Texas are -Prohibitionists, and some
Of the best meu and truest Democrats in
every community of Texas are Prohibi-
tionists, As matter of mere policy par
tisans on both sides should avoid all
speech and action that smacks of intoler-
ance or that appeal to prejudice and
ignorance. There are tens Of thousands
of people in Texas to-day whose vi3ws
on this question are not known and
which will be largely determined in ex-
preston at the ballot-box by the conduct
Of the partissns in this contest. Appeals
to ignorance and prejudice will lose with
intelligent men a vote for every one
gained with ignorant men. Rotten eggs
drive speakers from public stands and
they also drive men to vote against the
egg-throwers cause. So with many of
the arguments being hurled at the public.
There is more intolerance and more
sheer nonsense now extant in Texas than
any one dreams of who does not read all
that is being said by both sides. At one
point this intolerance IS expressed by
hurting rotten eggs at 8 prohibition ora
tor; a another it is expressed by the in
situation that -prohibitionists ere
men of West character; and such intol-
ersnce makes votes only for the other
side.
Ona par with this intolerance is the
bosh and the rot of some newspapers.
Ex-Confederates are told thst they will
be disfranchised; negroes are told that
they will be enslaved; the past political
records of men are hunted up and printed.
Prohibition ought to be and It will be set
tied in Texas by argument addressed to
the question. It is either good thing
or bad thing for Texas, and the politi-
cal records of men who oppose Or favor
prohibition have nothing to do with the
good OF the evil that will result from pro-
hibitionT

WEST TEXAS.

THE bounteOus rains that have fallen il
the Panhandle and West Texas generally
have settIed,for this season, and perhaps
for ell time, the question of the adspta.
bility Of that section to agricultural pur-
poses. That the soil is rich has long
been conceded, but that sufficient guam.
tity of rain would fall at proper intervals
was doubted. The drouth in the early
spring was q very severe trial on West
Texas. 1t was unprecedented in the
period of its duration, and the devastation
committed by it was simply appalling
With an elasticity found only in new
countries rebound set in as soon as the
first shower fell. Where bleak and barren
desolston distressed the vision, vegeta-
ton clothed the landscape in rich profusion
and the earth was soon covered with 8

witnessed. 1t seemed that all the treas

blessings. The dishesrtened and discon-
tented soon learned that they had lost
nothing by waiting and keeping faith.
Though for 8 time it looked discouraging,
all was changed now to hopefulness, help
fulness and general prosperity. Those
who in the parched season Of the drou.h
were willing to sell their homes took heart
again and went to work. Many who left
in despair are returning and have
returned, end many newcomers
are pouring in. 1t is easy
to perceive that all that was lost
by the drOuth will be gained and doubled
in the course of a couple of years. 81
should be remembered that Texas is gpt
the only place where drouth comes to Vsx
the farmer. 1t is poor consolation 10
know that some one else loses as muo6
or suffers as much as you do, but, at tie
same time, for the purposes of fair com
psrison, it is necessary to know that
other states are as often visited by arouth
as is Texas. Illinois and biichjgsk are

destruction to crops and the suffering
among the people is much greater than
any we have experienced in Texas. The
Texas drouth retarded the devel-
opment of the state during its
existence, but its effects are passed
and the country is once more on the
onward march. Home seekers can, with
perfect confidence, go out upon these
fertile lands and find homes for them
selves. Those who 60 now will find
homes; those who delay will find the
land all taken up when they arrive.
